http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/08/police-field-money-ohio-highway-median/?test=gnews ... DELAWARE, Ohio-- Police north of Columbus, Ohio, are trying to figure out how thousands of dollars in cash ended up along a highway.

Police Chief Russ Martin in the city of Delaware says there were so many bills in the median of U.S. Route 23 on Monday that an officer said it looked as though the field was growing money.

Authorities had been alerted by a motorist, and officers spent hours collecting the cash. Martin won't reveal the total except to say it was "five figures."

He tells WBNS-TV that police checked with the FBI, an armored car company and bank couriers. None reported missing any money.

The chief is confident officers rounded up all the bills, so he says drivers shouldn't stop in hopes of finding treasure.

What a hoot.
1st, some imbecile "alerted authorities" so that the cash, obviously free for the taking, could be confiscated.
2nd, the authorities tell the imbeciles not to bother looking for any missed bills as there is no way in a fricking wind blown field next to a highway any of it was missed.

Ah, so close! If only it had been 23 south of I-70.

But waddya expect from a bunch of “good German” Northsiders? The sort of folks who’d buy a vacant 150 year old house, find a stash of silver in basement, and immediately call the police?

Down here on the South Side? Heh, heh. We’d have known what to do!

Moron Award to the person who call the man.

Question: How much of that litter ended up in the cops' pockets.
